Holland West India company. Peter Minuit bought the Island 



48 MINNESOTA STATE BOARD ANSWERS 

from the Indians for 60 guilders. The town was founded 
in 1626 and called New Amsterdam. In 1660 the popula- 
tion was nearly 1,000. The inhabitants farmed and traded, 
and defended the settlement by a stockade across the Island 
on the line of present Wall street, and a fort on the site of 
the Battery. In 1664, the town passed into the hands of 
the English and was renamed New York. 

2. a. Royal, Charter, and Proprietary.

of Oregon was 42° north. Thence to 54° 40' north and all west 
of the Rockies was disputed territory, claimed by both Great 
Britain and the United States, jointly occupied by treaty in 
1818. Marcus Whitman led several thousand settlers from the 
United States to the Columbian region in 1843, which strength- 
ened the United States claim to this territory. To please 
northern Democrats, that party in its national convention in 
1844 declared for the occupation of Oregon up to 54° 40'. 
"Fifty-four-forty-or-fight" became a party war-cry. After Texas 



50 MINNESOTA STATE BOARD ANSWERS 



was annexed the United States served notice on Great Britain 
that joint occupancy of Oregon must cease after one year. 
England refused to accept 54° 40', as that would shut her from 
the Pacific, and proposed 49°, which line already separated a

dressed as Indians, boarded the vessels in Boston Harbor,

trick the Americans into buying this low-priced tea with 
the duty on, thus acknowledging the right of Parliament 
to tax them. But the Americans refused to be tricked.

Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, with following reserva-

d. Algonquins. 

e. He attempted to harm his enemy as much as 
possible without getting into danger himself. He 
avoided fighting in the open and exposing him- 
self to view. The one who gathered the most 
scalps was the greatest hero. Treachery did not 
detract from his heroism. He skulked in the 
woods and grass like a wild beast to surprise 
his prey, and often attacked women and children. 
We think of that conduct as cowardly, yet really 
the Indian was courageous in many ways. 

III. a. Several things led to westward migration after 

1815:

for settlement.

duce bloodshed. Dorr was imprisoned, released a 
few years later, and finally saw his cause triumph. 

b. An amendment to a bill before Congress in 1846, to 
pay Mexico for the lands taken from her in the

ever became slave. It failed to pass. 

c. In 1861, Captain Wilkes of the U. S. War Sloop, San 
Jacinto, forcibly took the Confederate commissioners, 
Mason and Slidell from the English steamer Trent. 
We should have had serious trouble with Great 
Britain, but President Lincoln released Mason and 
Slidell, and the trouble ended. 

d. In the spring of 1894, a horse dealer named Coxey, 
led an army of unemployed from Ohio to Washington 
to demand relief from the government. On this 
march they begged, stole, and captured trains with 
which to travel. On arrival at Washington they 
accomplished nothing and soon disbanded. 

e. Arid lands have been reclaimed or made productive 
by artificial irrigation, by individuals, corporations,

3. They are artificial banks, built along the Mis- 
sissippi at its mouth to narrow its channel, there- 
by causing a swifter rush of water through the 
channel, which keeps it deeper and clear of sedi-

V. 1. Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman and George 

D. Meade. 

Robert E. Lee, and Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson. 
2. Rosecrans was the Union General, Bragg, the

gave victory to neither side. On the second day 
September 20, Longstreet drove the Federal

the troops to aid the left, from the field. Rose- 
crans was at the head of the defeated part of

Chattanooga, where the entire Union army was

It made no particular progress before the Civil 
War, and, of course, disappeared with that war. 

c. The Fugitive Slave Law provided that any citizen 
must, when summoned, aid in the capture of the 
slave and return to his owner. Feeling ran so 
high against its operation that many northern 
states passed personal liberty laws, opposing the 
operation of the federal law. 

d. The right of a citizen of the United States to 
vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United 
States or any state. The negro thus acquired the 
right to vote before he could use it intelligently.

the right to dismiss federal officials and even the 
members of his own cabinet without the consent

f. The Civil Service Reform acts of 1883 gave the 
President power to appoint a commission to ex- 
amine all persons seeking lower grade offices under 
the federal government, and to recommend those 
they thought fit. Other acts have regulated and 
defined the work of this commission. It saves the

tion of slavery forever, were the important pro- 
visions. 

b. Purchased in 1803 of France, by President Jef- 
ferson, for $15,000,000 dollars. It contains 900,000 
square miles, and cost us less than three cents 
an acre. 

c. Reconstruction was the process by which the 
ceded states were restored to the status as states 
which they were in before the war. Johnson 
recognized the state government which had been 
organized during the latter part of the war in 
Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana. 
Provisional governors were appointed in the other 
states, who called conventions to form loyal gov- 
ernments. These conventions met and repealed 
the ordinances of secession; repudiated the rebel 
war debt; and ratified the thirteenth amendment. 
Congress did not accept Johnson's policy, and re- 
quired that states should ratify the fourteenth 
amendment. The southern states generally re- 



MINNESOTA STATE BOARD ANSWERS 73 

fused to ratify it and congress passed a recon- 
struction act over the president's veto by which 
six southern states were restored to the union in

in 1866.

States. 

2. That neither congress nor the people of a territory 
had a right to interfere with the holding of slaves 
by the owner in that territory.

the main strategic point on the Hudson, and it 
was given him in July, 1780. He arranged with 
Major Andre to surrender it to the British. Andre 
was captured with the evidence of Arnold's 
treachery in the papers on his person. The Amer-

Coke, limestone and iron ore are put into the furnace in 
layers. The coke burns and melts the limestone and 
iron. The limestone gathers the impurities and rises 
to the top where this "slag" is drawn off. The iron, 
being heavier, is drawn off at the bottom of the furnace 
and it flows out into molds. In the molds it cools and 
forms pig iron. 

Cotton growing is done in fields. The ground is 
plowed in the spring and the seeds are drilled in about 
three feet apart. The plants appear above the ground 
in about eight days. The young plants must be culti- 
vated and weeded until the flowers appear. The plants 
grow to be four or five feet in height. The seeds ripen 
after a period of seventy or eighty days and then the 
cotton wool is ready for picking.
